5 am, time to sleep
Sleep don't come too easily
Mirror mirror on the wall
How long till the curtain call?
The show 's been running far too long
And I'm stuck here with the same old songs
What used to come so naturally
Is eating up inside of me
I smoke too many cigarettes
I pay my bills but I got debts
Years gone by without a clue
How to write that something new
Chasing dreams you know ain't real
Always seems a dirty deal
Here's the point where I begin
To get back on my feet again
All through the night
I've been trying to find
The words to tell you
What's been really on my mind
Would you listen?
Would it make a difference anyway?
New ideas come along
Time to put the coffee on
Think about what I should do
Shall I change my point of view?
What's the subject is it real?
Or is it just another fantasy?
When it comes down to the truth
It's easier to sell my youth
All through the night
I've been trying to find
The words to tell you
What's been really on my mind
Would you listen?
Would it make a difference anyway?
Morning light comes streaming through
And I can almost taste the truth
Where it's at and where I've been
What I've done and all I've seen
Take the pen and paper out
I'm gonna write it down what it's about
Here's the song that tells it all
Then we'll hear that curtain call
All through the night
I've been trying to find
The words to tell you
What's been really on my mind
Would you listen?
Would it make a difference anyway?
All through the night
I've been trying to find
The words to tell you
What's been really on my mind
Would you listen?
Would it make a difference anyway?
All through the night
